Oh Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Oh/Fayette/172 Surname: MARINE, TOBIN, ROSS, SPERRY ------------------------- I was at the Ohio Historical Society a couple of weeks ago and did some searching for you on George. I looked for him the 1900 census and couldn't find his name listed where it shouldhave been. Makes me wonder if he wasn't in a home by then somewhere in Fayette County... I also called to Ross and Greene counties and neither of them have a death record for him. The only record of his dying is his headstone, which I intend to photograph for you if this blasted cold weather ever goes away!!!!! The search continues... ***SIGH*** Oh yes, it was suggested by Mrs. Shaper that you should also look at the Cleveland VA hospital. It seems that while it may seem a a long shot, she has found some Fayette County residents who died there. Also, his headstone was a private one, that a family member had engraved. His unit was on there, but still privately done. That is not to say that the government didn't pay for the engraving... Have you sent for his pension records maybe? Nancy M.
